Prayer's for Moms ~ Part 3

This week I am posting the prayers from our Mother’s Day service
at CCA. If you missed any of the
prayers thus far, they are listed below. You can click here
to read all about what made our Mother’s Day service so special.

I thank you Lord for each and every one of the children
that you have brought across my path. I thank you Father that you have given me wonderful kids
of my own, and that you allowed me the privilege of raising my
granddaughter. I pray today for myself and all other grandmothers.

We are in a unique set of circumstances that thankfully, you
have been aware of all along. I never expected to be parenting
for so many years, but you have given me strength. You gave
me words of comfort for my granddaughter, you gave me wisdom for
her parents. I'm so grateful.

I thank you Father for giving me the opportunity to keep
You in her life. To show your love and give her a choice
to build a relationship with Jesus,,. to know that You were the
One to depend on when all else fails.

Today I come to you on behalf of other Moms and myself, I ask
you to continue to strengthen our physical bodies and give us
wisdom in all situations. Help us to overcome the guilt we
feel, because we think we have failed the first time around.

Help us to deal with their heartbreak because
we aren't the mom. Help us to deal with our heartbreak,
because we can't ease theirs. Help our grandchildren understand that
they are perfect just the way they are, and we are so glad
they are in our lives. Help us today Lord to keep our families together
and at peace.

We want to continually pour our love into their lives, so
they know your love... know how to love… and
can break the cycle of dependence on anything but you.

Last, help us to continually put your word before
them, so they have direction for every tomorrow.
